Leave xps running with lid closed?

Is it possible to leave the dell xps m1330 laptop running with the screen lid closed?  it currently puts it on standby.. but i want to leave it running, that means all apps, everything, but if it turns off the screen only, thats ok.

    Sure! Just click on the power options icon in the task bar and click on "more power options" then select "Choose what closing the lid does"  in the left pane, select "Do Nothing", which means it'll just shut off the LCD, but leave everything else running.
